Design: Create a bowl from a topographic map

Austrian Design shop FluidForms that offers individualized designs now also provides a service to create wooden bowls based on topographic maps.

To create your own bowl - for your home location or a place you like - go to their web site and in 3 quick steps you will have the design finished and can preview it in an interactive 3D viewer.

You just select the location you want by entering a place name and will then be able to adjust it on a map.

“…Each part of the earth is unique in then design of her heights and depths. Fluidforms enables customers to have a piece of this singularity on a table at home. The different contour lines of a chosen area define the shape of the bowl. An expedition into landscapes and cities only known from hiking. The earth becomes a sensory experience, that can be filled with the fruits of the earth…”

The resulting bowl is about 30cm x 30 cm and made from laminated beach wood. Other sizes are available on request.
